How Do You Use a Sponge Cloth

You can use pretty much any cleaning product with a sponge cloth, including dish soap, disinfectant, or your favorite household cleaner. To keep your sponge cloth clean, microwave it for 30 seconds to sterilize it, or toss it in the top rack of the dishwasher or in the washing machine.

How long do sponge cloths last?

They generally last between 6-9 months. They are compostable and 100% biodegradable, so they won’t fill landfills once returned to the Earth. Just toss it on the compost pile!

Which is better sponge or dishcloth?

Your dish rags are really no better than your sponges. And like sponges, using a dirty dish rag to clean a kitchen countertop will only spread germs. Your best bet is to replace rags about once a week. “Allow them to dry out between uses because most bacteria thrive only in moistness,” Schachter says.
